The 1st breakthrough for England came in the 4th over by Chris Woakes. Shubman Gill had to return to the pavilion for just 9 runs off 13 deliveries. Virat Kohli, the star Indian batsman, replaced Gill at the crease.

Shreyas Iyer now joined his captain at the crease. In the 12th over, Shreyas was removed by Chris Woakes for 4 runs off 15 balls. This dismissal earned Woakes his 2nd wicket. Things looked a bit troublesome for India as the scoreboard read 40/3 after 12 overs.
